Ok. First of all, People Can Fly had nothing to do with the development of Redemption. The sole developer was Eggtooth Team. People Can Fly have never said or made anything "clear" in regards to this project. They're not involved.

Second, these maps are NOT from any abandoned project. These are the maps in question used in Redemption:

DM_IlluminatiDM_MineDM_ExMortisCTF_CHAOSDM_Fallen1

These are finished multiplayer maps from other previous expansions or fan-made maps (Eggtooth Team did not create any of them).

Third: If you think paying $1, $2, $5 or $100 for crap is acceptable, you either have way more money then you know what to do with, or you have no real concept of money in the first place.

Fourth: I was having a crashing problem so I went to a couple different forums to get help. There I found other people with various issues and for the most part expressing them respectfully. Eggtooth is there, posting. He's rude, way to defensive and hostile. Nothing like seeing people pay money for a product, have problems with it and then be yelled at by the developer. I regret supporting this joker.

I got through the first level, and I'm done. Can't be bothered to keep playing. This is not Painkiller, despite whatever the developer Eggtooth says. Painkiller didn't keep you locked up in one small area at a time for 15+ minutes at a time just button mashing and bunny hopping.

This being only $5 does not excuse the complete lack of variety, boredom, terrible load times, horrible spawning, re-used levels (I'm told some of these levels are MP levels from previous expansions) and a slew of other issues. Crap, avoid.

Just went through Battle out of Hell for the first time yesterday.I didn't really enjoy it; probably should have played on Insomnia difficulty instead. The card challenges were absurd and things were way to inconsistent. That roller coaster....wtf was that?

I'll give this a shot if only to just put, hopefully, closure to the ridiculous story and kill a few hours.

Diablo was great. By the time Diablo II rolled around, Blizzard had already dropped the ball on the action RPG genre. Dungeon Siege beat it out of the gate by quite a bit and had way better graphics, since Blizzard stuck to sprites. It also had a good many innovations that made it a lot of fun, which Diablo II skipped as well.

Give the consolers they're own battle.net so they can all play together with whatever limits are imposed on the console version (that's right, impose the limits on the console version not the PC version), and let all the PC people have their own battle.net so they can all play the game in it's fully customizable glory thus having no advantage in resolution or whatever over the console people.

I can't imagine the console and pc people could play together anyway. Consolers would get creamed in pvp and would probably just lag behind trying to keep up in pve with the PC crowd.

They'll survive as long as the Fantasy is never Final and there are always Dragon's to Quest for. SquareEnix's demise will not come from anything North American based/created, and more importantly any game where the North American audience is the target market. The worst case scenario that will come from this is a bad quarter and Eidos getting sold off if DX3 bombs. That's it.

If they were ever in massive trouble, all they'd have to do is simply announce a FFVII remake and their stock would rebound like no one's ever seen before. When the game actually hit, lol.

SquareEnix isn't going anywhere.

On Shaw. We've gotten fucked but not as bad as the customers of this f*ckin company.

I live in BC. We pay the highest prices for alcohol, food and (as far as I know) gas in all of North America. Now they're raping me for my source of income which, without getting into details, requires Hi Definition Media.

This GFWL deal along with Bleszinski's attitude towards the PC and its users has me on the fence. I have gift certificates to blow though and nothing else coming out in the next little while has my attention. Think I'll wait for any fallout after release before purchasing.

Each suit you obtain in the game has a corresponding "elite" version, so there are four of them. In the 360 and PS3 versions of the game, these suits are obtained by finding new schematics in a NewGame+ round. Quote from IGN:

"The Riot Armor Suit is available in the store and the Elite Engineer Suit schematic is found near the first store.

Other elite suits may be located when playing through round 2 -- the Vintage Elite in chapter 6, the Security Elite in chapter 9, and the Advance Elite in chapter 11. "

For example, the Elite Engineer schematic is supposed to be found on a couch in the same room as the first store you come across in Chapter 1. For me this isn't a case about not being able to be more powerful with new shinies but a case of paying the same price as the console versions and having something excluded for absolutely no reason. Yes this stuff is pretty pointless, but it's that it just doesn't make any sense at all which bothers me in this case.

Edit: This could just be a giant bug, I get the impression no one bothered testing the PC version of this game nevermind testing a NewGame+ Round. If it isn't a bug though, they ported the console version (that has all this stuff) to the PC and then took those things out. That's an assumption, yes, but I think a safe one to make if this is not a bug. No matter how significant, or insignificant, these things are, it completely blows my mind why they would do that.

This is how I've seen it for about 10+ years now. Console only games do not get headlines above the fold and if they do it's either an extraordinary situation or a mistake. If this gun isn't in the PC version, which I still haven't been able to confirm, then it should be in the "Consolidation" section.
